FluentCleaner - another CCleaner alternative

Author write:

i built my own take on a cleaner, inspired by the old CCleaner from back in the 2006 days, just adapted to how things should work today. modern (built with WinUI 3), minimal and focused on actually cleaning what matters (without all the usual nonsense).

This cleaner tool is compatible with the database Winapp2.ini https://github.com/moscadotto/winapp2 .
Winapp2.ini is compatible with: CCleaner, BleachBit, System Ninja, Avira System Speedup, R-Wipe&Clean, and HDCleaner.

Features:
• Native support for Winapp2.ini; approximately 3,700 entries, community-driven, and always up-to-date.
• Extremely fast analysis and scanning pipeline.
• Custom databases are supported; just insert any Winapp2-compatible .ini file and it will work immediately.
• A modern WinUI 3 interface that doesn't look like it was designed in 2009.
• Category-based cleaning, so you know exactly what you're deleting.
• Lightweight, no installation required, works right out of the box.
• No Avast. No toolbars. No "recommended partner offers." No telemetry data.

This program is natively portable. Works only on Windows 10 and 11 (only 64 bit).

What's new in rel. 26.05.22

What's New - v26.05.22
[Added]
• Custom Cleaners: create your own cleaning rules right inside the app
--> Winapp2 entries : write .ini cleaners using the same format as the built-in database. They show up in the Cleaner tab and work exactly like built-in entries.
--> PowerShell scripts: add .ps1 scripts that run with one click and stream live output
--> Built-in editor with ready-to-use templates for both formats
--> AI-assisted creation : describe what to clean, and AI generates the entry for you. (Requires a free Groq API key in Settings.)
--> Toggle entries on/off, search, edit, delete : all from the new Custom Cleaners page
--> Community links (Reddit, Neowin, Deskmodder, GitHub) in the Custom Cleaners actions menu;encouraging the community to create and share missing cleaners
• Browser detection before cleaning: warns you when browsers are still running. Open browsers lock cache and history files; closing them first means a more thorough cleanup
• A starter pack with useful cleaners and scripts is available on the Releases/Assets page; just drop it into the Custom folder (override default)

[Fixed]
• Extensive under-the-hood refactoring for improved stability and maintainability
• Fixed Winapp2 parser not recognizing entries pasted via the built-in editor (WinUI 3 TextBox writes \r-only line endings instead of \r\n)
• Rounded dialog corners across the app

[Removed]
• Extensions / CLI Tools has been removed and replaced by Custom Cleaners
